I feel like Mattel is starting to pull a Jakks where they are at the end of their deal and no one knows if they are gonna reup the deal so they are just doing the bare minimum because why put in the effort if we are about to lose the liscense.

I'll be honest, I feel like a lot of the RSE are just thrown together. I think this is pretty much it. Sure, RSC is a great middleman for Mattel, but I bet if you look at sales they of course can't touch Target or Walmart. But Mattel appreciates RSC so they let them have an exclusive. But I highly doubt Mattel puts months of prep into it. They come up with a fun idea, slap it together, and give RSC a certain amount to sell.

I think a box set of just puppets and a funhouse backdrop would have been better. No figure. Make the bray basic the figure and a separate release. This way, they could have been better quality like little figures and less like painted rubber. Make Abby the witch larger and in the window. Mercy could be in a cardboard box and let them stand on their own.
They made Rocco an actual detailed mini figure and everyone hates Rocco. Even lod. The firefly funhouse has been hugely over and these look hastily made.

I am not sure who came up with this Bray, but I am pretty sure RSC have a large amount of imput in the designing of what they want their exclusive to look like.

I just cancelled my pre-order of this. The more I stared at the photos, compared it to the better basic and shook my head a few times, I realized I just can’t justify putting away $28 for it. I feel like buying this would r͏e͏war͏d this laziness or incentivize it to happen again. I’m hoping they end up changing it and releasing new photos, at which point I will consider buying it. I hardly ever am critical of their choices and hate posting this, but this was just too much. This right here! I think shouldn’t buy it and let Mattel know they ed up and need to fix it!

I am guessing they were going for this... I don’t mind the top so much because Steve said the belly button would be filled. And Bray stretches that sweater when he’s wearing it. It’s not loose fitting on him. But if I was ever going to order it I would be more upset with the lower body. The hips look odd and legs in general are too thick. If I were going to change anything I would use upper body (torso) of his first figure so it would have a molded collar. Maybe the BaF Davis forearms so he’d have molded sleeves. And the lower body I would give him leaner legs from the hips down. Maybe the upper legs used for his father IRS or the BAF Cole.

I know Bray ain’t a slim guy and his sweater doesn’t fit him loose but that figure just looks bad
